Tablet workaround for RecentApplicationsDialog
At least on Nook Color and ZTE V9/Light which both are WVGA + MDPI devices there is a bug with the recent applications dialog. This patch provides a workaround for the problem and it is activated by setting "cm_default_recentapps_tablet_workaround" to true in config.xml. I choose to quote a user in the CyanogenMod Nook Color forum that desribed the bug like this: "I have problems with this on my Nook sometimes. When it works, I get the recent apps centered upon a vertical transparent-black-transparent gradient. Otherwise, it's a small black box of recent apps, aligned to the upper border and centered horizontally." Here's post at the Modaco forum with a screenshot that shows what it looks like when it goes bad: http://android.modaco.com/topic/340064-romgingerbreadcm7-working-on-gen2-zte-lightv9-2011-08-15/page__st__440__p__1784691#entry1784691 It appears that sometimes (seemingly random) the recent apps choose HVGA dimensions on WVGA/MDPI tablets. Also the lockscreen does this on the first boot after a wipe but after the first reboot it never happens again so that's not even worth trying to fix. But the recent applications dialog keep doing this perhaps 50% of the times you bring it up so it needs to be fixed. The reason why I made this workaround optional is that it has one issue. If you change the orientation of the device when the recent applications dialog is shown it will not resize itself correctly unless you close it and bring it up again. Now if anyone has a better fix or workaround then I'm open for suggestions. Change-Id: I505fac85d355dc8c42410863da3081b56fa71891
